GENERAL INFO
Yes Wellness Club is excited to announce its upcoming yoga retreat, The Art of Introspection, in collaboration with Omniya El Baghdadi.
Set against the rolling mountain ranges of Dahab, Sinai is a vibrant and unique pocket of the world, and the perfect backdrop for you to focus on you.
Over this four-night retreat, you will immerse yourself in the culture of Sinai. You will gain a great sense of home within yourself as we explore daily yoga, meditation, and insightful conversations on the Art of Introspection. We will discuss how to weave this into every element of your life.
In between your yoga classes and the outdoor excursions, you’ll have plenty of 'you time' to simply relax and unwind in our beautiful surroundings.
The walled grounds of our stunning venue feature a private beach, two excellent settings for yoga, including an elevated outdoor terrace, and both bungalows and en-suite rooms and more to make your stay unforgettable. Each day we’ll feast on healthy, scrumptious home-made meals prepared with fresh local ingredients by our very own in-house chef.
Each day on the retreat you’ll enjoy a guided morning meditation and energising morning Vinyasa yoga practice. We balance this with a restorative Yin practice in the evenings.
As a bonus, we are offering two exciting workshops:
1. Deepen Your Meditation: Enjoy a mindfulness meditation session and empowerment ‘mindset’ workshop to help instill purpose, vision and balance into your life.
2. Deepen Your Asanas: You’ll also have the chance to get playful and push your limits in our optional progressive yoga-asana workshop.
The Art of Introspection is suitable for all levels.
